Ground that
works harder.
Since 1980, 1st Products has engineered ground-engaging equipment that aerates, renovates, and seeds with less downtime and longer service life — built in Tifton, Georgia and proven on the toughest turf and soil.
Two kinds of ground.
One standard of build.
Turf
Aeration, verticutting, and renovation for golf courses, sports fields, and grounds crews — without the recovery time.

Agriculture
Tillage, no-till seeding, fertilizer application, and cotton-module handling — precision equipment that earns its keep, season after season.
View ag equipment →The lineup
Six families. Every model gets a dedicated spec page — find the exact tool for your ground.
AERA-vator
Aeration without the recovery time
Vibrating, ground-driven tines fracture compacted soil and break the thatch layer — with virtually no surface disruption. Play resumes the same day.

VERTI-cutter
Thatch control & turf renovation
Precision vertical blades slice through thatch and stolons to restore density, channel water, and reset the canopy on greens, fairways, and sports turf.
Explore → AGRI-vator
Primary tillage, reimagined
The AERA-vator principle scaled to the field — vibratory tines loosen hardpan and prepare a seedbed in a single pass, from 6 to 12 feet.

ND Seed Drills
No-till precision seeding
The MULTI-drill / ND series places seed accurately into untilled ground — food plots, pasture, cover crops, and row crops from 5 to 12 feet.

Fertilizer Applicators
Dry & liquid, calibrated
Hoppers, tool bars, and applicators built for even, accurate placement — from 250-lb pull-behinds to 1,750-lb row-crop systems.

CM7000 Module Spears
Round-module cotton handling
Heavy-duty single- and double-spear systems for safe, fast transport of round cotton modules — engineered for the gin yard and the field.
Explore →One frame.
Five shafts.
Infinite seasons.
The AERA-vator's defining idea: a single machine, transformed by interchangeable tine shafts. Swap the shaft, change the job — aerate, slice, core, spike, or seed. Each one has its own page.

“We run the AERA-vator right before a tournament and the surface is ready for play the same afternoon. Nothing else comes close.”— Golf Course Superintendent, Southeast US
